[QUOTE="scan, post: 285110, member: 3630"] I have a 2004 which I drive from may 1 to October 31 and then store it for 6 months. If I put on only 5,000km during this time should I still change the oil before I store it. My current practice has always been I do a synthetic oil change before I put it away for storage so that in the spring it has fresh oil going through(rather than the old oil and gunk etc going through once I start it up) the engine as opposed to change it in the spring. However a mechanic rectory said that because I use the synthetic oil and you don’t put many km every year you could technically change the oil every 2 yrs. Thoughts on the two points oil change necessary and if so then when to do it before storing or after storage. thanks. [/QUOTE]
